The Touch of Her Flesh

About This Movie

The Touch of Her Flesh is one of those oddities from the late '60s that really captures a dark, unsettling atmosphere. It plays out like a fever dream, where loss and vengeance twist together in Richard Jennings' warped psyche. The practical effects, though limited, bring a gritty realism that enhances the horror of his descent into madness. You’ve got a protagonist who’s both pitiable and terrifying, and the pacing feels like a slow burn that eventually ignites into chaos. The film's thematics around morality and retribution give it a weight that lingers long after the credits roll. It's not your typical horror flick, that’s for sure.

The Touch of Her Flesh has a somewhat obscure history, having been released in a time when underground cinema was really starting to take off. Various formats have come and gone, but good copies are increasingly hard to find, especially the original prints. Collectors seem to appreciate its uniqueness and willingness to tread into dark thematic waters, often sparking conversations about the genre's evolution during that era.
